News just broke that President Trump is dismissing the director of the FBI, James Comey.Comey will inevitably be remembered for the controversial role he played in the 2016 presidential election, where his agency conducted surveillance of the Trump campaign and investigated the Clinton camp for mishandling classified materials, giving both sides arguments for how the FBI ultimately swayed the vote.But even before the 2016 campaign, the FBI endured a number of humiliations under Comey’s tenure. Most damning were revelations that the FBI was generally aware of almost every terrorist who successfully struck America over the last eight years.

Here are 10 of James Comey’s biggest embarrassments at the FBI:

1. Before he bombed the Boston Marathon, the FBI interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev but let him go. Russia sent the Obama Administration a second warning, but the FBI opted against investigating him again.

2. Shortly after the NSA scandal exploded in 2013, the FBI was exposed conducting its own data mining on innocent Americans; the agency, Bloomberg reported, retains that material for decades (even if no wrongdoing is found).

3. The FBI had possession of emails sent by Nidal Hasan saying he wanted to kill his fellow soldiers to protect the Taliban -- but didn't intervene, leading many critics to argue the tragedy that resulted in the death of 31 Americans at Fort Hood could have been prevented.

4. During the Obama Administration, the FBI claimed that two private jets were being used primarily for counterterrorism, when in fact they were mostly being used for Eric Holder and Robert Mueller's business and personal travel.

5. When the FBI demanded Apple create a "backdoor" that would allow law enforcement agencies to unlock the cell phones of various suspects, the company refused, sparking a battle between the feds and America's biggest tech company. What makes this incident indicative of Comey's questionable management of the agency is that a) The FBI jumped the gun, as they were indeed ultimately able to crack the San Bernardino terrorist's phone, and b) Almost every other major national security figure sided with Apple (from former CIA Director General Petraeus to former CIA Director James Woolsey to former director of the NSA, General Michael Hayden), warning that such a "crack" would inevitably wind up in the wrong hands.

6. In 2015, the FBI conducted a controversial raid on a Texas political meeting, finger printing, photographing, and seizing phones from attendees (some in the group believe in restoring Texas as an independent constitutional republic).

7. During its investigation into Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified material, the FBI made an unusual deal in which Clinton aides were both given immunity and allowed to destroy their laptops.

8. The father of the radical Islamist who detonated a backpack bomb in New York City in 2016 alerted the FBI to his son's radicalization. The FBI, however, cleared Ahmad Khan Rahami after a brief interview.

9. The FBI also investigated the terrorist who killed 49 people and wounded 53 more at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Fla. Despite a more than 10-month investigation of Omar Mateen -- during which Mateen admitting lying to agents -- the FBI opted against pressing further and closed its case.

10. CBS recently reported that when two terrorists sought to kill Americans attending the "Draw Muhammad" event in Garland, Texas, the FBI not only had an understanding an attack was coming, but actually had an undercover agent traveling with the Islamists, Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi. The FBI has refused to comment on why the agent on the scene did not intervene during the attack.

- FBI agents knew when and where it would take place, but did nothing to stop it. One of the intended victims draws stunning conclusion as to the FBI and then president Obama motivations.

* The following articles and recent video detail a disturbing incident in 2015, where an FBI undercover agent encouraged a jihadi massacre of lawful pro-freedom-of-speech activists. * The FBI, knowing full well when and where the shooting would take place, had no plans to stop them. The question is why, and under whose orders.* Activists with the American Freedom Defense Initiative had organized a public Draw Muhammad Contest in Garland, Texas. An alert traffic officer took down the two jihadists seconds before they could perpetrate the massacre.* One of the FBI agents involved in the plot was present to watch the planned shooting, and stood passively as the drama began to unfold.* Authorities in western countries try to appease Islam by discouraging freedom of speech activists from drawing Muhammad.* Muslims regard the visual representation of Muhammad as a serious violation of their blasphemy laws. * Many western authorities prefer to sacrifice freedom of speech to avoid Muslim rage. These authorities regard activists such as Pamela Geller as 'troublemakers' instead of defenders of a fundamental freedom, and so this may explain their alleged reluctance to protect their lives.

A group of freedom-of-speech activists with the gathered at a public meeting in Garland, Texas, to carry out a Draw the Prophet contest. Among those activists were Robert Spencer of Frontpage Magazine, Pamela Geller (pictured on the right), a well-known anti-Sharia activist, and Rebel Media journalist David Menzies.

Here is David Menzies' summary of this FBI inexplicable collaboration with jihadists - which so far has NOT been investigated by the FBI or by any other government agency - followed by a short video presentation.

David Menzies: Recently, U.S.-based ISIS conspirator Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem was sentenced to 30 years in prison for his part in plotting a terrorist attack in 2015 at the venue staging a Draw Mohammed contest in Garland, Texas.

Having covered the event for Rebel Media, I remained interested in the follow-up stories of the thwarted terrorist attack especially because if those sharia stooges had their way, Yours Truly and about 100 other people could’ve been massacred.

And lately, more disturbing information has emerged regarding the would-be Garland massacre attempt.

Watch as I share what event co-organizer Robert Spencer has had to say about the FBI’s role that day.

The fact is, they (the FBI) knew heavily armed terrorists were headed to Garland on the day of the event, yet they didn’t bother to inform the organizers. Why?

Since the FBI won’t launch an internal investigation into this scandal, all we can do is speculate regarding the FBI’s mysterious motives.

For his part, Spencer believes perhaps the FBI actually wanted the attack to succeed, and while it may sound preposterous, until the FBI comes forward with full disclosure of their inexplicable behaviour, what else do we have to go on?

He “didn’t try to stop” Garland jihad attackers. Following orders from higher officials in the Obama administration, did the FBI want Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer dead for daring to challenge Muslim blasphemy laws in America?

By Robert Spencer, Frontpage Magazine

Investigation: Agents work on the scene near to where the men opened fire before they were shot dead by a traffic officer. Investigators destroyed some of the belongings found inside the back of the suspects' car, pictured, as a precaution

Although we were co-organizers of the event, neither Pamela Geller nor I appear, except in one still photo, in this 60 Minutes piece on the jihad attack at our Garland, Texas free speech event in May 2015. All they say is that “a self-described free speech advocate named Pamela Geller was holding a provocative contest.”

Continue reading, including transcript of the 60 Minutes report

The contempt fairly leapt from the screen. “A self-described free speech advocate”? Does 60 Minutes mean that Pamela Geller didn’t have the requisite degree in free speech advocacy? Or that she wasn’t really a free speech advocate?

What they really mean, of course, is that she is not on the Left, and so cannot be celebrated as a free speech advocate the way the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists, who were all Leftists, can be. And they give a nod to Sharia blasphemy laws by describing the contest as “provocative.”

It was an art exhibit, featuring historical and modern images of Muhammad, some created by Muslims. It was only provocative to Muslims who believe in Islam’s death penalty for blasphemy (and brainwashed dhimmis). Was 60 Minutes implying endorsement of that death penalty? Why, yes. If our event was provocative, the shooters were justifiably provoked.

Meanwhile, CBS gives a lot of space to Usama Shami, the imam of the Islamic Community Center of Phoenix, from which the jihadis came, allowing him to exonerate the mosque of any responsibility for “radicalizing” the jihad attackers. 60 Minutes doesn’t mention what Simpson’s friend Courtney Lonergan told theArizona Republic:

“Simpson would never waver from the teachings he picked up in the mosque and elsewhere….He was one of those guys who would sleep at the mosque. The fact that he felt personally insulted by somebody drawing a picture had to come from the ideological rhetoric coming out of the mosque.”

Despite all the predictable politically correct whitewashing and appeasement, CBS does a good job of highlighting a curious and still unexplained aspect of the attack: the FBI clearly knew the attack was coming (although it didn’t bother to inform us or our security team), as the FBI agent was right there, following behind the jihadis, whom he had encouraged to “tear up Texas.”

But even though they knew the attack was coming, they didn’t have a team in place to stop the jihadis. They had one man there, and one man only.

The jihadis were not stopped by FBI agents, but by our own security team.If the jihadis had gotten through our team, they would have killed Pamela Geller and me, and many others. (They would no doubt have loved to kill Geert Wilders (Dutch politician), but he left before they arrived.)

The Daily Beast wrote in August 2016 about how this undercover FBI agent encouraged the jihadis.The Beast’s Katie Zavadski wrote: “Days before an ISIS sympathizer attacked a cartoon contest in Garland, Texas, he received a text from an undercover FBI agent. ‘Tear up Texas,’ the agent messaged Elton Simpson days before he opened fire at the Draw Muhammad event, according to an affidavit (pdf) filed in federal court Thursday.”

But what was the FBI’s game in telling them to do that? Why didn’t they have a phalanx of agents in place, ready to stop the attack? Or did they want the attack to succeed, so that Barack Obama’s vow that “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam” would be vividly illustrated, and intimidate any other Americans who might be contemplating defending the freedom of speech into silence?

We have twice asked the FBI for an investigation into this matter. They have ignored us. Of course. After all, it isn’t as if this happened to someone important, like Linda Sarsour.

“60 Minutes investigates first ISIS-claimed attack in U.S. and what the FBI knew,”

A terrorist attack in Texas by two U.S. citizens shows how hard it is to prevent such an attack — even when one of the terrorists is well-known to the FBI.

The following is a script from “Attack in Garland,” which aired on March 26, 2017. Anderson Cooper is the correspondent. Graham Messick and Steve McCarthy, producers. Jack Weingart, associate producer.

Wednesday’s terror attack in London by a man who had been known to British law enforcement is just the latest reminder of how difficult it is to prevent an attack before it takes place. Here in the U.S., in just the past three years, more than 100 people have been arrested for ISIS-related crimes. The FBI devotes significant resources to identifying potential terrorists and sometimes spends years tracking them. The terror attack in Garland, Texas, two years ago was the first claimed by ISIS on U.S. soil.

It’s mostly been forgotten because the two terrorists were killed by local cops before they managed to murder anyone. In looking into what happened in Garland, we were surprised to discover just how close the FBI was to one of the terrorists. Not only had the FBI been monitoring him for years, there was an undercover agent right behind him when the first shots were fired.

The target of the attack was an event taking place in this conference center on May 3, 2015. A self-described free speech advocate named Pamela Geller was holding a provocative contest, offering a cash-prize for the best drawing of the prophet Muhammad, whose depiction is considered sacrilege by some Muslims. Security outside was heavy. There were dozens of police, a SWAT team, and snipers.

“The Garland attack is essentially the first opening salvo when it comes to attacks on the homeland.”

More than 100 people were gathered inside and the event was ending when two terrorists drove up to a checkpoint manned by a Garland police officer and a school security guard. This grainy image shows both law-enforcement personnel standing next to an unmarked police car seconds before the attack. Bruce Joiner, the security guard, was unarmed.

The next day as the FBI picked through the crime scene, the evidence showed Garland police had prevented a massacre. The terrorists brought six guns, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, bulletproof and tactical vests, and Xeroxed copies of the black flag of ISIS. They were identified as 31-year-old Elton Simpson and 34-year-old Nadir Soofi. Just hours before the attack they had sent this tweet pledging allegiance to ISIS. But Simpson was already well-known to the FBI.

He grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, and moved to Phoenix, Arizona, in middle school. He briefly played college basketball before dropping out and converting to Islam when he was 20.

According to leaders of the Phoenix mosque he attended, Simpson was well-liked and soft-spoken.

Usama Shami: He was always asking questions, attending lectures.

Usama Shami is president of the Islamic Community Center of Phoenix. People here thought so much of the young Muslim convert, who took the name “Ibrahim,” that he was included in the mosque’s promotional video in 2007.

Elton Ibrahim Simpson: When you come together and you pray five times a day with the brothers and you’re reminded about the hereafter…

But at the time of this interview, Simpson had already become interested in radical Islam, and the Phoenix FBI, which was investigating one of his friends, hired an informant, a Sudanese refugee named Dabla Deng, to check Simpson out.

Anderson Cooper: There are informants inside the mosque?

Usama Shami: Yeah. I mean the whole case with Elton Simpson was with an informant that he was befriending Elton and taping his conversations.

Dabla Deng spent three years pretending to be Simpson’s friend, and was paid $132,000 by the FBI. He taped more than 1,500 hours of their conversations and finally recorded him talking about traveling overseas to wage jihad. Simpson lied to the FBI about it and got three years probation.

Usama Shami: When he found out that this guy was spying on him, and taping him and then finding out that the government was doing that, I think something clicked in him. And the mosque, we couldn’t do anything. Because we don’t know what he did.

Anderson Cooper: He felt that the mosque had abandoned him?

Usama Shami: Yes. And he felt that a lot of people had abandoned him. And that’s why he stopped coming to the mosque.

He moved into this Phoenix apartment complex with Nadir Soofi, who he knew from the mosque. Soofi had just had a bitter break-up and the pizza parlor he owned was going out of business. It was here in this apartment that Simpson and Soofi began closely following the rise of ISIS, reaching out to their supporters online, and acquiring weapons for a terrorist attack.

Seamus Hughes: Simpson and Soofi knew what they were getting into and I think they likely knew they were going to die.

Seamus Hughes tracks the online activities of ISIS sympathizers in the U.S. He served at the National Counter Terrorism Center, and is currently deputy director of George Washington University’s “Program On Extremism,” where he also trains FBI agents on how to identify American jihadis.

Anderson Cooper: Why is the Garland attack so significant?

Seamus Hughes: The Garland attack is essentially the first opening salvo when it comes to attacks on the homeland.

Anderson Cooper: Attacks in the United States?

Seamus Hughes: Attacks in the United States. These low-level attacks by ones and twos of people who are drawn to the ideology and decide to act.

Using an old-fashioned law enforcement tool, Hughes maps out ISIS’ online tentacles into the United States.

Seamus Hughes: So you have the two attackers, Soofi and Simpson. They’re also talking to Mohammed Miski, who’s an ISIS recruiter in Somalia.

Anderson Cooper: This is somebody in Somalia who they’re talking to online–

Raqqa is ISIS’ stronghold in Syria. Hughes calls Junaid Hussain an “ISIS rock star,” a British citizen, who communicated online with English-speaking recruits worldwide. He was killed in a U.S. drone strike a year-and-a-half ago. “Miski,” an American living in Somalia, tweeted this link about the “draw Muhammad contest,” in Garland, Texas, and direct-messaged Elton Simpson urging him to attack it.

Seamus Hughes: The most interesting part about this is we’re in a hybrid time, right. Before we used to be worried about these network attacks, think of 9/11 with the hijackers training for years and then coming over here. And then, we had lone actor attacks, individuals who were kind of drawn to this and decided to act. Now, we’re in this weird moment in between, where you have a number of individuals in Raqqa, reaching out to Americans in Ohio, New York, and other places and saying, “So here’s the knife you should use. Here’s the address of the local U.S. military officer and do what you can.”

Anderson Cooper: Do you think Elton Simpson would have launched this attack if it wasn’t for people in ISIS overseas who were online whispering in his ear?

Seamus Hughes: I think the folks whispering in his ear was a big part of it.

The FBI closed the case on Elton Simpson in 2014, only to re-open it several weeks before the attack because of statements he made on social media.

Seamus Hughes: It speaks to a larger problem the FBI has, which is you have an individual who pops into your radar in 2006, but doesn’t commit an attack until 2015. So do you want the FBI to watch this individual for nine years?

After the attack, Phoenix FBI agents became convinced the two men hadn’t acted alone, and began investigating Elton Simpson’s friends. They arrested this man Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem, a 43-year-old convert to Islam who grew up in Philadelphia, and accused him of funding the attack, as well as training and encouraging Simpson and Soofi.

Witnesses at Abdul-Kareem’s trial testified the three men watched ISIS execution videos together and discussed attacking a military base or the 2015 Super Bowl in Glendale, Arizona. Abdul-Kareem denied taking part in any discussions about a terror attack and says he rejected his friend’s growing radicalization.

He was found guilty on multiple counts and sentenced to 30 years in prison. But his attorney Dan Maynard continued to investigate, and uncovered new evidence the FBI was much closer to the Garland attack than anyone realized.

Anderson Cooper: After the trial, you discovered that the government knew a lot more about the Garland attack than they had let on?Anderson Cooper: After the trial, you discovered that the government knew a lot more about the Garland attack than they had let on?

Anderson Cooper: After the trial, you discovered that the government knew a lot more about the Garland attack than they had let on?

Dan Maynard: That’s right. Yeah. After the trial we found out that they had had an undercover agent who had been texting with Simpson, less than three weeks before the attack, to him “Tear up Texas.” Which to me was an encouragement to Simpson.

The man he’s talking about was a special agent of the FBI, working undercover posing as an Islamic radical. The government sent attorney Dan Maynard 60 pages of declassified encrypted messages between the agent and Elton Simpson – and argued “Tear up Texas” was not an incitement. But Simpson’s response was incriminating, referring to the attack against cartoonists at the French magazine Charlie Hebdo: “bro, you don’t have to say that…” He wrote “you know what happened in Paris… so that goes without saying. No need to be direct.”

But it turns out the undercover agent did more than just communicate online with Elton Simpson. In an affidavit filed in another case the government disclosed that the FBI undercover agent had actually “traveled to Garland, Texas, and was present… at the event.”

Dan Maynard: I was shocked. I mean I was shocked that the government hadn’t turned this over. I wanted to know when did he get there, why was he there?

And this past November, Maynard was given another batch of documents by the government, revealing the biggest surprise of all. The undercover FBI agent was in a car directly behind Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi when they started shooting. This cell-phone photo of school security guard Bruce Joiner and police officer Greg Stevens was taken by the undercover agent seconds before the attack.

Anderson Cooper: The idea that he’s taking photograph of the two people who happen to be attacked moments before they’re attacked.

Dan Maynard: It’s stunning.

Anderson Cooper: I mean, talk about being in the right or the wrong place at the right or the wrong time.

Dan Maynard: The idea that he’s right there 30 seconds before the attack happens is just incredible to me.

Anderson Cooper: What would you want to ask the undercover agent?

“I can’t tell you whether the FBI knew the attack was gonna occur. I don’t like to think that they let it occur. But it is shocking to me that an undercover agent sees fellas jumping out of a car and he drives on.”

Dan Maynard: I would love to ask the undercover agent– Are these the only communications that you had with Simpson? Did you have more communications with Simpson? How is it that you ended up coming to Garland, Texas? Why are you even there?

We wanted to ask the FBI those same questions. But the bureau would not agree to an interview. All the FBI would give us was this email statement. It reads: “There was no advance knowledge of a plot to attack the cartoon drawing contest in Garland, Texas.”

If you’re wondering what happened to the FBI’s undercover agent, he fled the scene but was stopped at gunpoint by Garland police. This is video of him in handcuffs, recorded by a local news crew. We’ve blurred his face to protect his identity.

Dan Maynard: I can’t tell you whether the FBI knew the attack was gonna occur. I don’t like to think that they let it occur. But it is shocking to me that an undercover agent sees fellas jumping out of a car and he drives on. I find that shocking.

Anderson Cooper: That he didn’t try to stop–

Dan Maynard: He didn’t try to stop ‘em. Or he didn’t do something. I mean, he’s an agent, for gosh sakes.

Anderson Cooper: If this attack had gone a different way, and lots of people had been killed, would the fact that an undercover FBI agent was on the scene have become essentially a scandal?

Seamus Hughes: It woulda been a bigger story. I think you would have seen congressional investigations and things like that. Lucky for the FBI and for the participants in the event you know, here in Texas, you know, everyone’s a good shot there….

DAILY MAIL - TAPES OF A TERROR SUSPECT: RECORDINGS SHOW SIMPSON'S INTENTIONS TO WAGE A WAR

Elton Simpson was well known to the FBI. In 2010, he was convicted of lying to federal agents about his plans to travel to Somalia - although a judge ultimately ruled it could not be proved that he was heading there to join a terror group.

During the investigation, an FBI informant recorded their conversations, which showed Simpson talking about his intentions to fight for the Muslim way of life.

Court documents state: 'Mr. Simpson said that the reward is high because "If you get shot, or you get killed, it's [heaven] straight away".... "[Heaven] that's what we here for...so why not take that route?"'

He added that in countries, such as Palestine, Iraq and Somalia, 'they trying to bring democracy over there man, they're trying to make them live by man-made laws, not by Allah's laws'.

He went on: 'That's why they get fought. You try to make us become slaves to man? No we slave to Allah, we going to fight you to the death.'

In a recording from 2009, he told the informant that it was time they went to Somalia.

'It's time,' he said. 'I'm tellin' you man. We gonna make it to the battlefield... It's time to roll...

'People fighting and killing your kids, and dropping bombs on people that have nothing to do with nothing. You got to fight back you can't be just sitting down... smiling at each other...'

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MENTAL ILLNESS AND ISLAM - What science says about it

The sciences of GENETICS and EPIGENTICS demonstrate that human EVOLUTION is still ongoing. ~~~ Changes in the human genome occur as a result of many factors in the physical and cultural environment. ~~~ Studies demonstrate that GENETIC CHANGES occur even during the lifetime of a person, and they can be inherited by their children. ~~~ In the case of ISLAM we have to consider 14 centuries of harsh indoctrination and cultural violence, repressed normal sexuality, and a lifestyle rooted in 7th century Arabia, in sharp conflict with 21st century science and culture. ~~~ MUSLIM UPBRINGING includes mental and physical abuse, and often sexual abuse of boys and girls as well. - The INBREEDING factor is also significant. Marriages to first cousins are very common, resulting too often in children with physical and mental disabilities. ~~~ The incidence of MENTAL ILLNESS and mental disability among Muslims has been all but ignored by countries that are importing millions of Muslim migrants. - This genetic factor may explain why second and third generation of Western Muslims have difficulty controliing emotions, and sometimes engage in actions of extreme violence.

WHY DO MUSLIMS HATE YOU?

A good Muslim follows the Koran and Hadith to the letter.

There can be no assimilation. ~~~ Abandoning Islam, or APOSTASY, is punishable by death. ~~~ Muslims have been waging war against other people since the 7th century. ~~~ It was always CONVERT OR DIE. Countless indigenous cultures and religions across Asia and Africa have been obliterated, forced to submit to Islam. ~~~ According to conservative estimates, Islam has killed 270 MILLION non-Muslims during 14 centuries of conquest and tyranny. That makes it the biggest GENOCIDE in history. ~~~ CLICK ON IMAGE to read why Islam hates you, in their own words, and learn more about the Muslim genocide

BRITISH TAXPAYERS OUTRAGED at EU spending their money building ILLEGAL ARAB SETTLEMENTS in Israel

FOR SEVEN YEARS ISRAELI AUTHORITIES HAVE DONE NOTHING to stop the EU building of illegal Arab settlements on Jewish land ~~~~~ While Israel has frozen construction across the Green Line, and razes the tiniest house addition or Jewish unauthorized outposts on the hills, Arabs keep building ILLEGAL SETLEMENTS with impunity, and with the funding and assistance of the European Union. Those settlements are in internationally-recognized Israeli land (Area C), thus the EU is not only violating Israeli sovereignty, but its own diplomatic rules of operation in foreign countries. - These illegal Arab settlements are meant to be FACTS ON THE GROUND for the eventual Muslim takeover of Jewish land - EUROPEANS DID NOT WANT JEWS IN EUROPE and murdered MILLIONS of them. Now they don't want Jews in their ancient homeland of ISRAEL either, call them "occupiers," and demand that the land be given to descendants of Muslims who invaded Israel in the 7th century. - The EU (inspired by the Nazi boycotts against Jews) already labels and boycotts products from the Jewish heartland - THE EU WAR AGAINST THE JEWS persists as they contract out the Arabs to continue Hitler's mission of killing Jews. Europe and the United States are the main funders of the Palestinian Authority, contributing to salaries paid to terrorists who murder innocent Israelis..CLICK ON IMAGE TO READ ARTICLE AND WATCH VIDEO

ISIS PLAN FOR INFILTRATING EUROPE AS REFUGEES

Along with Muslim refugees pouring into Europe there is a significant percentage of terrorists from ISIS and other Muslim factions. About 75% of those migrants are young men of military age. - This invasion follows ISIS threat earlier this year to flood Europe with HALF A MILLION MIGRANTS to unleash chaos. - The sudden spike in migration to Europe has been well orchestrated behind the scenes with the willing cooperation of Europeans. ~~~~~~~ Here we have a PERFECT STORM. (1) European leftist political elites need to expand their voting base with benefits-dependent migrants. (2) Business looks forward to cheap labor. (3) Leftists and media blatantly manipulate European shame for the Holocaust. Anyone opposed to this invasion is branded a RACIST.. - Basic math predicts an eventual demographic takeover of Europe by Islam. - The cartoon here has a an immigration officer asking jihadists "Anything to declare?" while they invade Europe - CLICK on image to read more

SATIRE - WHAT THE U.S. AND EU REALLY MEAN BY LAND FOR PEACE

Europe and the US commiserate for the loss of 6 million Jews during the Holocaust. - But they obsessively demand that Israel be partitioned along borders only 9 miles wide at their narrowest point. - These borders and the creation of ANOTHER ARAB TERROR STATE under ISIS or Iran's influence will certainly lead to a Holocaust of 6 million Israeli Jews. - On this SATIRE White House aides promise that if the Arabs massacre the Jews in a shrunk Israel, Israelis should take comfort in the fact that the world will have an annual commemoration of their sacrifice for peace. - Image from Israel Matzav blog - CLICK on picture to read article.

HITLER is gone but the relics of his Third Reich still hold Europe under his spell. - See PHOTOS of the NUREMBERG NAZI PARADE GROUNDS, and read about the plans for their renovation. - HITLER's racist and genocidal ideas now loom ever larger in Europe, as NEO-NAZIS, anti-Semitic pro-Palestinian LEFTISTS, and genocidal EU MUSLIMS find common cause in their hatred against Jews. - Germany will republish MEIN KAMPF in 2016. - Germany and the EU fund and organize BOYCOTT ISRAEL campaigns inspired by Nazi boycotts of Jewish stores in the 1930s. - Jews are being persecuted and MURDERED in the EU, mostly at the hands of EU Muslims. - Anti-Semitic activities in Germany alone rose by 1,000% in 2014, mostly by EU Muslims. - The NAZI-MUSLIM ALLIANCE that dates back to the 1940s, when the Palestinian leader, the Mufti of Jerusalem, joined Hitler in Berlin for the design and implementation of the Final Solution, and for the formation of a Bosnian Muslim SS Nazi division that perpetrated gruesome war crimes in Eastern Europe - CLICK on image to see Nuremberg then and now images, to read more, and watch VIDEO

IF JESUS LIVED IN JUDEA TODAY

Jesus would be called a "SETTLER" and Arabs would deny him access to Temple Mount (where Muslim conquerors erected a mosque), and to much of Judea and Samaria (West Bank), today under the control of the Palestinian Authority (PA) where no Jews are allowed. ~~~ Jews who have ventured into the PA have been LYNCHED. ~~~ Jesus would not be safe anywhere in Israel. He would be pelted with ROCKS or STABBED for being a "settler". Or he would be DECAPITATED, as Arabs did to four rabbis praying at a Jerusalem synagogue in 2014. ~~~ If Jesus were a child he would be BURNED BY FIREBOMBS (as Arabs did to a child in December 2014), or have his THROAT SLASHED in his own home, as Arabs did to the Fogel children. ~~~ CLICK on image to read more about the Muslim war against Jews and Christians in today's Judea and Samaria.

AID PER CAPITA TO PALESTINIANS SURPASSES AID TO ALL OTHER GROUPS

To all that add the cost of UNRWA, the UN agency tasked with maintaining several generations of Palestinians refugees stuck indefinitely in miserable conditions in camps all over the Arab world (instead of finding them new homes as in the case of non-Palestinian refugees).

DURING WW II THE ARAB LEADER in Palestine Haj Amin Al Husseini, Mufti of Jerusalem, lived in Berlin. He met with Hitler and worked closely with top government Nazis in the design and implementation of the Final Solution. The Mufti even created a Muslim SS Nazi Militia that committed countless and gruesome crimes. The Mufti was allowed by the Allies to go back to the Middle East and escape prosecution at Nuremberg. The Mufti then trained Yassir Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas for the destruction of Israel. When Jewish survivors reconstituted their ancient state of Israel, the Vatican was among the first to oppose it, and naturally allied itself with Arab terrorists, such as Yassir Arafat. POPE JOHN PAUL II MET TWELVE TIMES WITH YASSIR ARAFAT AND GAVE WHOLEHEARTED SUPPORT TO HIS GENOCIDAL CAUSE. Arafat already had the blood of thousands of innocent people on his hands.

THIS BLOG'S PURPOSE

April 15, 2013

My objective will be to try TO CONVEY THE MAGIC OF SCIENCE in little bits of news. Although I will still post a great variety of items, from the alarming to the quirky, my real interest is in those stories that can reveal something profound about our world and ourselves.

I'm not a religious person but I often find God in nature itself, in the deep mysteries of physics, in the marvelous way in which everything is connected and leads to LIFE.

Unlike many scientists I admire, I cannot see the world with their reductionist eyes. There is a unity and a mystery behind everything - a deeper truth that we are just not equipped to understand. That unity and mystery is to me a manifestation of God. Sometimes we sense a tiny part of that deeper truth for just a fleeting moment, and then it's gone. But those moments are unforgetable.

In the meantime we can only be grateful for this opportunity to experience the beauty and mystery of life and to learn as much as possible, while being kind to those who share this adventure with us, humans and other living things alike, and this wonderful planet of ours, our Mother Earth.

ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ

"I walked down the streets in Barcelona and suddenly I discovered a terrible truth. Europe died in Auschwitz. WE KILLED 6 MILLION JEWS AND REPLACED THEM WITH 20 MILLION MUSLIMS. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen peoople, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world. The contribution of these people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned." ------ Those are the words written by a European writer some years ago on a newspaper column. It is a strong and frank denunciation of how Europe destroyed the patriotic and productive Jews, and replaced them with a growing Muslim population that hates Europe and uses threats and violence to impose their 7th century customs and ideology on everyone. Europe is already starting to become a Muslim-dominated continent where the best of European culture and values will be eventually extinguished. -------- CLICK ON IMAGE to read it.

WHAT PALESTINIANS SAY THEY REALLY WANT - PART 1

2013-12 -In an interview with the Lebanese The Daily Star, the Palestinian Ambassador to Lebanon, Abdullah Abdullah, said Palestinian refugees would NOT become citizens of any new Palestinian State. "They are Palestinians, that's their identity. But they are not automatically citizens. Even Palestinian who are living in refugee camps inside the Palestinian state are still refugees. They will not be considered citizens." They would not even get passports. A state is not the end of the conflict or a solution. A state is only a new framework that will change the rules of the game, he said.

THE ARAB CLAIM TO PALESTINE

After a protracted war against the Jews, the Roman invaders and occupiers destroyed the Jewish kingdom of JUDEA. Then renamed it "Palestine" after the "Philistines", a different ME population, to erase all memory of Judea. They stole its treasures and enslaved the Jews. Later came the Muslim occupiers. They settled in the area and built a mosque on the site of the ancient Jewish Temple of King Solomon. (Photo Israel Matzav website)
